WIGHT (Wight Weedy Wight) LP/CD
07/25/2011
Because of the cover artwork, it's obvious that Germany's WIGHT make no secret of the fact that they have a fondness for the heavy groups of the 1970's. In doing this, it seems as if these three guys were particularly attracted to early Black Sabbath but also bands as, ...

WOLFHEAD (s/t) CD
07/17/2011
Sometimes I take the new CD's that arrive here and listen to them on my way to the rehearsal room. In this way, my bandmate Markus gets to know new music every now and then as well. When the last promo CD's arrived it was rehearsal day again and so ...

WITHOUT GOD (Lambs To The Slaughter) CD
06/26/2011
What do you do if you need to sign in a band but it might seem like you are not the next Ronnie James Dio? You need to find other vocalists to influence you. People like Lee Dorian or Kirk Windstein for example. Because guitarist Anton of Without God ...

WINTER (Into Darkness) LP/CD
05/29/2011
I can still recall people's reaction to 'Into Darkness' when it was originally released in 1990 on Future Shock Records. You either loved it or hated it. And most people hated this CD. This didn't change when 'Into Darkness' was reissued by Nuclear Blast Records in 1992. For the majority ...

WIZARD'S BEARD (Pure Filth) CD
04/04/2011
Due to the band name and cover artwork, I expected some sort of generic occult-inspired doom, but instead WIZARD'S BEARD is more orientated to the album title. In concrete terms, this means that 'Pure Filth' offers delicate and raw sludge. There is nothing new here, but the overall ...

WO FAT (Noche Del Chupacabra) LP/CD
03/27/2011
Texas is one of those places that has written music history. Some of the greatest bands were founded there as, for example, The 13th Floor Elevators or ZZ Top just to name a few. Neither should we forget legendary musicians such as Lightnin' Hopkins or Ornette Coleman. And then ...

WHITE RABBIT DYNAMITE (Insight) CD
01/31/2011
Berlin's WHITE RABBIT DYNAMITE are attracted to the heavy blues-tinged rock of the late 60's/70's and they revive this genre with a lot of verve and talent. A proof of this is their self-financed debut album 'Insight', released in 2010. It consists of ten varied tracks which offer a ...

WHOOPING CRANE (Riffin' For Rent) MCD
01/25/2011
Brooklyn's WHOOPING CRANE are an amazing power trio which deliver finest classic rock of the highest caliber. Their first self-released EP 'Riffin' For Rent' sounds fresh and vibrant and it is a mystery why no record label has signed this band. Michael Lo is not only a brilliant ...

WITCHE'S BREW (White Trash Sideshow) LP/CD
01/03/2011
I had heard the name Witche's Brew before. Certain people in certain forums where tossing it around. And that normally should have been enough for me, to check them out, but somehow these Italians had escaped me 'til Klaus sent me a package with some of the latest stuff from Black ...

WALL OF SLEEP (When Mountains Roar) CD
12/15/2010
When I read that Gábor Holdampf had left Wall Of Sleep, I was a little concerned about the future of the band. What would happen next? They, after all, earned quite an amount of respect and appreciation for their last album '…And Hell Followed With Him'. The point is ...
